Answer:

B). It is Crisco

Explanation:

Iodine value can be used to measure the unsaturation (presence of double bonds in fatty acids) of oils and fats. When in solution with the presence of fats, the iodine reacts with the double bonds present and leaves the solution, which can be indirectly measured by observing the change in color (purple to colorless), the results are expressed as $\frac{IodineAbsorbed(g)}{100gfat}$ .

A lower Iodine value indicates a high presence of saturated fatty acids, and a high value indicates a high presence of unsaturated fatty acids, which are better for nutrition.

Some typical values are:

-Fully hydrogenated fats: 1-3 (Crisco is a shortening brand, which is fully hydrogenated fat, solid at room temperature)

-Butterfat: 25-42

-Palm oil: 50-55

-Corn oil: 107-135

-Chia seed oil: 209-211

Urgent needs an answer now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make water from hydrogen an

ycow [4]

Answer:

hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single raction

Explanation:

The reason is Molecules of hydrogen react with oxygen violently to break the initial molecular bonds and form new one between the atoms of the two elements. The reaction results into an explosive release of energy and the production of water because the products of the reaction are at a lower energy level

Compare the costs and benefits of hydro power to that of geothermal power. (Please include two costs and two benefits.)

EleoNora [17]

Hydroelectric Power
The benefits are: 
1. Hydroelectric power is mainly a renewable source of energy. It relies on the stream cycle of water which do not cause pollution.
2. Hydroelectric power also helps and promote water reservoir and storage.

The cost are:
1. 0.85 cents per kWh is the average cost in the US.
2. Conventional installation costs $1,000-$5,000

Geothermal Power
The benefits are: 
1. There is no pollution
2. We lessen the utilization of fossil fuels

The costs are: 
1. $0.03 to $0.035 per kWh is the cost of electricity by The Geysers.
2. $20,000 to $25,000 costs to build this power plant

Hope this helps.
